  That makes sense only when multiple inheritance is supported though.

    Flavours was single dispatch and the term for subclass was „dependent flavor“

      Single dispatch has nothing to do with multiple inheritance. “Many versions of Lisp added OOP through the addition of an object system called Flavors, which went beyond Smalltalk and included multiple inheritance and method combination.” http://www.paulgraham.com/chameleon.html http://www.paulgraham.com/chameleon.html “The power of flavors (and the name flavors) comes from the ability to mix several flavors and get a new flavor.” https://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/flavors.htm https://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/flavors....
